My question to others concerns what you may have referred to in your book as a clicking sound in your chest. I think you said you had heard from someone that said the same thing. You seemed to think you had it before surgery. The feeling I have is what I would describe as the rubbing together of the sternum as I bend over. Has anyone who has had the surgery described this sensation. I never felt this before the surgery when I would bend over. Can anyone shed any light on this.
